chicken ceiling light fixture

I got up this morning fully expecting to get a shower, grab a fresh Caramel Vanilla Green Mountain K-cup and get down to writing. (My creativity rises and shines each morning, much like my husband’s physical drive.) This afternoon I planned to clean the house that has been overrun by slush and salt and sequestered family members, and prepare for the company we’re having tomorrow. But, that’s not how my day played out.

As I emerged, dressed and ready to get to work, I found water dripping through the family room ceiling, onto the hardwood floor. There was a leak.

For most of you that probably wouldn’t elicit panic and fear, but in me it does.

A few years ago we had a flood. “Water cascaded down the steps and out the front door. Ceilings caved in, drywall buckled and crumbled away from the walls, and a continuous wave of water shot across the second floor loft and through the banister, splashing down onto our family room hardwood floor – our own waterfall. Light fixtures, wall switches, electrical outlets, and duct work became outlets through which water poured, collecting on floors and countertops, puddling on beds. The champagne carpet curdled, the oak hardwood bubbled, and on every floor, expensive wood furniture wicked up moisture like a thirsty camel. The tiny drain in the center of the game room floor, buried deep beneath the thick carpet and dense pad, slowly sifted through eight inches of standing water.

It was not a fire, although the smoke alarms blared. A broken sprinkler pipe, in the attic over my son’s room, pumped water at 120 pounds of pressure per minute for about six hours. No one was home. Christopher was settled into his apartment and his junior year at Slippery Rock University, a little over an hour away. Jack and I had been out of the house all day working.” (Excerpt from Making Sense of the Madness, my upcoming Memoir)

Our house was uninhabitable.

So today, all I could think was here we go again, and immediately grew weak. But then, as I grabbed the phone intending to fire off a 911 text to my husband, I saw the time. I stopped. At that very moment, my dear friend was lying on a bed at the Hillman Cancer Institute with an IV pumping Chemo through the port in her chest.

Indrani has Stage Four Uterine Cancer – her second recurrence in 18 months. There can be no more surgery. It seems three is the max. And she is one of the unfortunate people to have had more than one bout of primary cancer. Four years ago, she was diagnosed with Stage Two Breast Cancer. At 42, with a beautiful and brilliant 13 year old, my friend is fighting for her life and praying to live just long enough to see her daughter go off to college.

So I asked myself, “Is it really that bad?” No. It’s not a major flood, just a steady drip, probably from some ice that can easily be removed from the roof. And I reminded myself of what’s really important. I’m healthy and so is everyone in my family. I’ll bet Indrani would give anything to exchange her cancer for my leak. And I ask those of you who have been living without electricity or cable or phone service, or any of the other minor inconveniences this record-breaking snowfall has dumped on all of us, “Is it really that bad?”
